After years of rumours, Ryan Gosling has finally been confirmed as the lead in Ghost Rider, an upcoming film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This has been a highly anticipated casting for which Ryan himself has spoken about numerous times in interviews.
The film will be directed by Shawn Levy, who previously directed Deadpool and Wolverine for Marvel and, interestingly, is working with Gosling on the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter movie. During the Hall H panel where the film was announced, Levy told the crowd that he and Gosling spent much of their downtime on set daydreaming and swapping ideas about the exciting project. “As Ryan started talking about his vision for this character, we started riffing,” said Levy “And I finally said, ‘Bro, let’s ride.’ So guys, we’ll see you in 2028.”
